The grind is pretty intense but I am a bit of a sucker for the grind. If you join a guild, it makes it all exponentially easier too since you do more as a group. Honestly, if I didn’t have to edit videos for a YT channel, I’d play this game a ton hahaha. I highly recommend it
I’ll never forget when Lisa simpson, a filthy red, took my life and my savings many a moons ago. I love that the game is still around all these years later.
I love watching UO videos, because at this time in my life I had friends, I had a life, I was happy, I didn't care about anything, just venturing into this world with my friends... I miss it....=/
Ah the good ol days. If my brother and I were able to play this back in the day, it would have been glorious. Now, life has other priorities a lot of the time.
I played UO when I was 12. Year 2000. I was grandmaster miner and like 80% on blacksmith hahaha. SO many drama and memories from the mining pit. Oh boy, too many. When you get to grandmaster blacksmith, every item you craft gets your name on the item's name. Like, "Plate armor crafted by EternalLife". I was so motivated to get this dream come true, and played everyday for years but couldnt get to grandmaster :( But the thrill of running away from notorious murderers while getting helped by all the blue players is not like any other games. Best game experience Ive ever had.
I was 15, playing late 90's, proudest moment was using a tinker trapped chest on the ground in the mine to trick a miner-killer blue player into blowing himself up, looting him, running into my house, and locking the door, lol.
I played back then in a server where mines outside Minoc were a known PK hunting ground. You'd be scared shitless whenever you are in the caves. Any moment a team of PK players would just come in, seal the mine's exit with the wall spell, kill everyone in the mines and steal your loot. It was the best of times.
I played at 16 in 2001 for 15 minutes and never went back. Ended up playing war craft from 2004 to 2013. Then started playing the souls series and realized how crap every mmo really is.
@@DSToNe19and83 Is that where you open the trade menu and some how you drop every item in the trade menu and over encumbers you? If so, I hate you lol. I lost 10 mil like that.
In the 6th grade I used to play Runescape in computer class and my class buddy would always try to get me to play Ultima Online instead lol. I was waaaaaaayyyy too dedicated to mining coal though. Riveting gameplay!
In my conputerclass we all thought we were slick but realized soon. Our teacher could see what we do from his pc and also he was huge geek. Like he was huge wow fan, befriended himself with the substitue teacher instantly who occassionly went to raids with him( so been told ) The class teacher also played with us the games weve been playing.
The WoE thing became known in our class, we tried to add him in those games but they rejected for the same reason as befriended yourself with the teacher because you could get better grades
The editing, sound and delivery 10/10. Ultima Online for those of us that have been addicted to it through the years is very hard to explain to someone from the outside. Great video!
AMAZING editing, the Chris bard fail shot was hilarious. I played Outlands upon launch and then during covid. I had the first medium sized ship on the server - back then it was like me and two other guys who even sailed, there were no ship pks. I remember almost pking richest player on the server Stormy Daniels on second day of the server. I remember how quickly people got together for the first houses it was within a day or two, people were PRE PLANNING how to do this before server opened on discord and doing podcasts about the launch strategy. The creator and everyone working on Outlands did a fantastic job with it. If anyone is curious AND if you have free time because it WILL take up your time, this is a really fun thing to get into for awhile.
UO Outlands is exactly what UO Classic SHOULD have become. It's stunning and amazing. The way they repurpose skills to become useful that were originally more pointless is phenominal. Additionally, the way you 'lvl' is probably the best way I've seen 'lvls' done. I don't have time to actively play this anymore, but gods do I miss it. I love the depth this game offers, in terms of skill sets, crafting, fighting, and more. I've been waiting for DECADES for a newaged UO and this really filled that desire when I found it 3 years ago.
I agree. I think the progression is really interesting while still keeping the core of UO in place. It sucks when you get killed by a pk and they loot your body, but most equipment is a minor inconvenience to lose at worse. It’s a good setup and a ton of fun
I was actually wanting to make a video follow-up of Outlands as soon as I tried it out after retail UO and was in love with the game. It just took me a veeeery long time to actually put everything together haha
@@PixelRookieOfficial So which did you like better? Dude, you noobing around brings back so many memories. I wish I could erase those memories and experience it like you did. Amazing to see!
I liked Outlands 1000 times better. The world feels very alive and busy all the time and joining a guild made it even more fun as I was not stuck doing things alone. It helped kick start me to really snowball and the game is a lot more enjoyable once you have the key progressions upgraded some.
I have been playing for about 5 years, have a house, a few solid characters with some decent levels in multiple Aspects and I just now found out you could take that boat at the Shelter Docks to Prevalia lol. Literally every system is insanely in depth and you will always learn new things every time you play because there is just so much.
Even though I been playing Outlands for a couple of years now I went through the whole video. Perfectly done and really entertain. Also full of nostalgic and with so on point things like the DM Boss fight the Terran music or the Berserk OST with the guild part!! so touching You sir deserve massive success as youtuber!
Thanks so much! I love tossing in some classic OSTs to tickle the nostalgia a bit. It feels especially fitting when it’s the topic of Ultima Online since even without playing it, it was a big memory of my childhood of WHAT IF haha
it was a pleasure running into you during your travels! your last UO video got me playing outlands and to see you there was an absolute blast! Even though I did call you Pixel Retro at the time (haha). Luckily enough, I was rewatching your Kenshi series during the time this video was released so I got to watch it only a day after it came out! Glad you joined the knights of Sir! I was in a guild allied with them (Pathfinders). Hopefully we can cross paths again one day!
Was it you that I ran into in Inferno level 1? If you are who I think you are, you were casually lockpicking the chests where I was at and I was super happy that you recognized me. One of the only people who did that too! I was bummed that I forgot to record when I was playing at the time but if that was you, I definitely remember that interaction haha
@@PixelRookieOfficial @PixelRookieOfficial yep that was me :D glad you remembered our encounter! not gonna lie i was hoping to see my "mistake" on this video but it was good to see you playing without trying to make this movie. shows that you were having fun in the game to me at least!
@@PocketFullofGames I was "gathering footage and progression" without recording for like 4 months straight lol.... whoops! Honestly, if I didn't have a youtube channel, I'd be really invested into Outlands and play it regularly as my go-to game. I had to take a break so my channel doesn't die from inactivity :P I am happy that you found this video and honestly, I am bummed out that I didn't capture that moment because it was equally as exciting for me to have someone randomly recognize me while we were doing simple dungeon crawls haha. Cheers and best of luck out there!
I absolutely adore your narration, and the fact that I know most of the music tracks you pull from is just some heavy nostalgia for someone who's had great memories of their source material ( like classic UO and Neverwinter Nights ) Subbed.
Epic video as always Mr Hotdog! Glad to see you on Outlands. Its amazing server with an amazing community. Hope to bump into you in the world some day!
I’m so unbelievably happy you decided to make a second video covering uo outlands as I believe it is the definitive way to play and a big TH-camr covering it is gonna bring so many more players in
That is SO COOL! I've always heard of UO back in the mid 2000's, but was busy playing other MMORPGS at the time, like Tibia and RuneScape, and in the end never got to try it. I was afraid that too much time had passed and UO was no longer on it's golden days, such is the fate of most MMOs, but this video was like a shining ray of light. Specially the knight ceremony, with many players lining up to actually roleplay the thing... It's beyond moving. I wonder it's not too late to blissfully invest thousands of precious hours like an addicted bum on this game - and have a great time...
Dude, recently a huge update was released to Outlands and the guild of Sir is big into roleplaying, which is a lot of fun. Not only that, they are super helpful to get you started with an aspect and codex to get you kickstarted with your character. Find Lord Black in the Outlands discord and tell him I sent you if you decide to play, they will help you out. I had to stop playing due to it being TOO much fun and I wasn’t working on my TH-cam channel at all lol. It’s definitely not too late to play!
Just watching this, with all the complicated stuff you have to figure out to do with razor and settings, seems like this would be so hard to get into for a new player. I have played UO off and on since release and slowly learned third party programs, macros, etc. It's fun, like this server and Project 1999 for Everquest are the best MMO experiences available imo, but it's sort of a mess playing 3 accounts at once using a third party program and almost needing to know how to code to set up complicated behaviors in macros. I'm impressed with anyone who started with Outlands and got the hang of it without prior UO experience.
That's why most scripts you will need are right in the outlands scripts website you copy pasta and do your thing. They have an active community in discord with people called companions that are dedicated to helping new players get going
Holy Nostalgia batman. I can't remember exactly; but in old school UO the criminal system was a touch more unforgiving. It worked as it does here, except the more shit you did, the longer you stayed gray. After a few times it was basically permanent. Good news, is that there were a lot more blues than grays and they would vehemently go after people for screwing people over. It was such a good damn time. I miss UO's early days so much. Edit: Alright, I'm sold. Gonna hop on - fuck me this is bad. I know how long it took me to grind shit out when I was younger, I can't wait for the hell that awaits me, lol.
I wanted to play this so badly during my high-school years, but never got around to it. Then Everquest was released and it ate my life for 5 years. Also, there's something about the view angle that never sat right with me in this game. For example, you see trees and some other things from a side view, while the rest of the game is almost top-down.
Almost been 2 years on outlands now. This server is getting better and better every week/month.. i seriously can't get enough. There's so many playstyles that are viable too.. like one my personal favorite build is a harvest aspect thief that focuses on lockpicking dungeon chests and stealing from mobs(and the occasional player) to get rich.
Oh that’s a fun build idea. I could enjoy just lumberjacking if harvest wasn’t so expensive. I love the idea of the chroma cores though. Big step in the right direction IMO
@@PixelRookieOfficial I was lucky enough to be building fortune aspect before they added harvest and could switch, so i got harvest 6 for free... works well enough as it is. Not rich enough to echo my build and also make a gatherer on the same toon yet though
@Drawfill I spent a ton of skill scrolls to unlock an echo and it hasn’t done me much good since I went for a pure air dexxer haha. I’ll give it another go when wildlands comes out since the focus skill will help with it a lot
yeah... echoes are only worth it if you got a 720 template that works for the aspect you wanna use it for. Harvest works for both gathering and lockpicking... it just makes sense on this character of mine. I wouldnt advise echoing on a new toon though tbh.
I love Outlands so much and the new expansion just released this weekend! When I was new to Outlands I was jacking some lumber northwest of Prevalia and it was a territory belonging to Reds. I was stopped by a Red and they roleplayed that I pay the fee to have access to their lands or I run the risk of dying. I paid a meager sum of gold as I was very poor and they granted me access to the territory and said that they would pass the word along to allow me to pass through.
The expansion is great so far! Minus the server instability, it’s really great. I’m finally able to enjoy playing as an air dexxer haha. The other day I entered the mausoleum and this red approaches me at the entrance and tells me he’s robbing me and my buddy and that we have to pay him OR ELSE. We both turned on him right after and he took off running but it was really funny. Love the light RP that goes on in the game
@@PixelRookieOfficial make sure you enter the house lottery from all 3 accs. I just won one pass and placed first house in new lands, right near the great farming/taming spot
@@PixelRookieOfficial Make sure you find and bookmark potential spots in advance. During the last expansion I basically roleplayed the realter lol. Invested all my gold into buying passes from the others and ended up almost placing the biggest possible house on the shard. You can't buy passes directly, but you can pay the person to use his pass and place a 8x8 house where you want and after the lottery transfer it to you for the remainder of the fee. That's how some ended up with huge plots. This was probably the most enjoyable part of playing on Outlands, at least for me. Needed to deal with lots of people in order to make it happpen. For a beginner it's better to look for some good farming and close to water spots, which are surrounded by some obstacles, so placing 8x8 wouldn't let others to place another 8x8 between your house and those obstacles. There should be 4 tiles between another potential nearby house, so leaving 3 tiles denies that. Make sure you test Windmill. That sucker has weird footprint and some guilds got screwed up last time, because some placed those in their big plots. You can test everything on test server and/or by placing pouches on the ground to mark house borders and then using surveying tool to place wanted house. Let me know if you have questions. Cheers
UO was one of the first "big" MMOs and it also created many staples of modern mmo/survival/crafting games. I sunk too many hours into this game when I was younger.
Wonderful video, I really wish more people would try Outlands, it's the perfect recipe of an absolute gem of old school MMO with 2024 QOL and mechanics. I will also say for anyone interested, you have so many things you can do in this game, this video only scratched the surface :)
So many great memories from my teens playing UO. Best game experience I've ever had. Wish I could have time to play it again. Had an amazing time watching your video, thank you and congratulations
Very well done video! I would advice to new players to skip creating a Bard, just create a Tammer with Water aspect, its descently cheap, and will get you more gold faster than a Bard. Then when you are stronger, you can upgrade it to Command Aspect, this very powerfull.
I actually did this and my dps and clear speed was probably 5 times better lol. I just stopped using fencing and swapped to different weapons to level different codices because the pets were so much stronger. It’s a huge difference
i have been trying to get into uo outlands but have a ton to learn, but until then am happy with my trial/error approach. anyways if anyone wants to party up my character name is Tickle Boy, would love to play alongside some ppl
There is a lot to digest but if you find a guild to join via their Discord server, that is an AMAZING way to get people to play with and helping through that learning curve
When UO came out... I thought we would be SOOOOO much farther ahead here in 2024 than we are! shit, UO has pretty much everything current MMO's have, IF NOT MORE!!! It's bonkers!
I feel like a lot of MMOs want to do "games as a service" more than just make a good game to get people to keep throwing money at them. I am not too keen on most modern MMOs anymore. Outlands being quite the exception of course :)
one of my favorite memories was when a bunch of us took over a graveyard and turned a crypt into a bar and hanged out. had to kill undead from time to time but was fun.
God i miss UO. Guild wars was so much fun and adrenaline pumping. Hand constantly hovering over the recall spell in case a gank squad rolls up. I remember i had tamer that was almost GM. I would line dragons up by the bank and sell them.
You should give Outlands a look if you want to scratch that itch. I literally had to give away all of my characters stuff because I was addicted to the game (look at that 2-3 month gap between uploads starting around the time I released this video and started playing Outlands again lol)
Played early UO when I was like 16 and for years in the late 90s-early 00s, had a tank mage, joined the Sosarian Socialist Party on the Catskills RP server. Remember the early days Server Wars when they went down for maintenance and progress wasnt saved so everybody went HAM PKing each other lmao.
I went the Runescape route. I've always wanted to get into UO though. I played on shards back in the day, but never found one that really stuck. Tried retail not that long ago but just didn't have the time to grind. Maybe one day...
Thanks so much for the kind words! If I didn't have to spend so much time editing videos for the channel, I would definitely be playing way more Outlands still haha
I prefer retail over outlands for a few reason. I hate the classic client and the enhanced client can go up to 200 fps. Additionally keybinding abilities is extremely simple. I also really enjoy the new stuff they've added. I originally hated how magical items work but once I figured out the system, it's much fun for builds. You can have well over the cap with skill jewelry. Additionally the scrolls of power that allow you to level a skill past 100 are earned through doing champion spawns in T2A (a PVP zone) and are not blessed and cannot be insured. I also like how weapons have abilities like whirlwind, double strike, etc. There is no issue with people having the same name (unlike Outlands). All content is able to be done solo (Mage Tamers and Sampires are especially good at this). There are enough servers that you can find one that suits your needs and outside of maybe Atlantic or Siege it should be easy to find land for a house (though maybe not a castle). However I have played UO:Outlands and UOR and UOSA. I think if you're going to play a F2P versions, Outlands is definitely the best one.
I'm never a fan of advertisements interjected randomly into videos (although I understand you need to make money somehow), you found a way to comedically and naturally advertise World of Tanks. Good job man, this may be crazy but just because of that you have earned a subscriber
Haha thanks man. I will be 100% open in saying I am a SELLOUT any chance I can get with sponsorship opportunities, but I like to try and have fun with them so it can *maybe* be an entertaining bit. Cheers!
Thank you for making this. I have been meaning to get back and outlands seemed so overwhelming. But this video gave me hope and I'll play again. I'm an archer bard so I'll give your progression a try. I'm at a point where my 11 yr old wants to play with me. I'm beyond elated, and will show him this video to get his feet wet lol😊
There’s no better time to come back than now. The big wildlands expansion is great. Honestly, my only complaint is that on peak hours it’s almost too crowded everywhere. A good problem to have for sure
You ended up joining a really good guild.. Did you happen to run into the Orc role-playing guilds? Knights of Sir does a lot of interactions with them and so does the Yew Militia.. There are roleplayers everywhere always in character and you basically ended up joining one of the major RP guilds with the Knights of Sir, it's why they made you change your name..
Blue = Care Bear. Farming the farmers is more fun, and more lucrative while being faster. Read about the "upcoming" UO in a gaming magazine, and started playing a few months after launch up until March 2003, when I left for Shadowbane. The Presidents; Rift.
But you still need to go with a full templated character from pretty much day 1 to be able to do anything at all. To a new player this is a killer. Man, how i want a new aged UO alike mmorpg
I am not a huge fan of having to farm skills up to 80 in shelter and then leave to find a battle trainer and let it run pretty much all night to get a viable build. This is greatly alleviated with the help of a guild but most new players do not know this... like me when I started hahaha
Hmm as someone who's been struggling to get deeply invested into a game since Diabo 2 this looks like it could check off all the boxes of satisfaction.
D2 Resurrected opened a powerful gate of nostalgia for me and I stopped working on YT for like 2 months straight because of it hahaha. I would say that D2 and Outlands are quite different in terms of the core gameplay loop, but Outlands is really fun in its own way. Just know that you aren’t going to be finding lots of cool pieces of loot and gear with affixes to them, which is a huge aspect of what makes D2 so special, and the combat isn’t a “run around and melt everything on your screen” kind of gameplay. It’s definitely a little grindy, but I honestly enjoy that. Hope you’re able to check it out and enjoy it!
You're better off doing a modded singleplayer server, the game can be heavily modded, you can even create your own maps. I haven't looked back since i started doing UO R&R. I added in player killer NPC's from adventures to ruins and riches since i prefer that over adventures.
I wish i hadnt stopped playing online games with other players for so long. I get way too much anxiety when interacting with others, even online. I wanna play outlands 😅
Honestly, there are so many great guilds where people are very welcoming and friendly. I feel like even with anxiety, it would be an easier transition and I also think it would get a lot easier after taking the plunge. I’m in the Sir discord and they are great people. You’re welcome to join us over there :)
Make sure you play Outlands instead of retail UO from EA lol. If you are new to the game, DEFINITELY JOIN THE OUTLANDS DISCORD - they have tons of helpful people always online that can answer any one off questions you have. You can find Lord Black there and message him if you want to join the guild of Sir. They are very beginner friendly and a great group of people. They can help you with getting your first codex and aspect mastery unlocked. For an established guild, that is nothing to them but for a brand new player, it is a lot of time and money saved so you can begin big boy progression right away. Cheers!
@@PixelRookieOfficial I am on Outlands and in the discord! I am not looking for a guild right of the back (I got back social anxiety). Looking forward to your future videos, this one was a lot of fun!
Understandable. Unfortunately I gave away almost all of my loot as I was getting TOO addicted to the game and wasn’t working on TH-cam lol. If I still had some stuff I’d hook you up 😅
Honestly, this is less of a cautionary tale and more of a story how I learned how to love this game the slow and hard way haha. I HIGHLY recommend it if you have the time and don't mind more of a hardcore experience that is a bit more punishing but very rewarding
Ty for inspiring me again, does it have the original UO soundtrack btw? That would be a huge selling point for me Ps, you don’t level up by doing “the thing” anymore? But by buying it ??
I actually play without music as I need to record footage and add my own BG music in post. You still need to level up any skill by doing the skill up to GM (100 points). Many of the skills can go up to 120, which requires you to buy 20 skill scrolls of that particular skill to increase the cap. You still need to use the skill to actually increase it regardless. Hope that helps!
Oh man that makes me happy! Definitely join the discord and ask questions as there is a new player channel where lots of veterans help out. Also look into a guild as they will help you too! Best of luck :)
Lost of sound and visual effects and are shared with Age of Empires games, I wonder who actually came up with this first. Also, did OSRS take its ideas from this or vice versa? Lotta similarities.
I’m so glad! If you can get past the steep learning curve at the beginning, you’re in for a real treat! Also, join the guild ASAP! They can help you get your first codex and aspect, which is a huge help for someone that is just getting started. Sir is a great beginner friendly guild. Good luck out there :)
Haven't played Outlands for a while, but my experience was 1. Go to dungeon 2. Fight mobs for 2 minutes 3. Get swarmed by a gank squad of PKs (very sweaty) 4. Repeat forever I don't think I'm masochistic enough to play this server 😂
I think those kinds of PK groups come and go, but since getting back into the game the past few weeks, I have only run into 2-3 groups total and only died once. There are a lot of ways to avoid getting PKed but I feel like you need to get past the basics to know how to do this effectively. Sadly, if you are a new player and getting targeted by PKs (they are the easiest targets), it can definitely lead to a frustrating and unfun experience.
Not the first MMORPG but it was the first to coin the term MMORPG.. However I think what sets UO apart is that it was clearly developed to be a social roleplaying experience even though you had features that many would consider hardcore, features that you see in games like Mortal Online, Albion and Darkfall, but I think where those games fall flat is that there is little to no focus on providing a social RP experience and it lacks depth in those features where UO is loaded with it. You don't build a sandbox without any sand which is what modern sandbox games do.. UO was all about socializing and because it centered around that it ended up having more depth than any other MMORPG to date.. The skill system provides more depth as well in a MMORPG, I don't care what people say, it's better for the games balance and longevity when there is no character levels and it's easier to balance a game with a skil system, you barely even need gear in Outlands, your character skills outweigh your items..
UO Outlands is the best version of Ultima Online. EA should’ve hired these guys to team to make the original even more of a masterpiece. If you haven’t played Outlands yet, you should.
@surr3ald3sign that’s awesome! If you haven’t already, I definitely recommend joining a guild. Sir is a great one and very beginner friendly. They can help you with getting your first codex and aspect, which is a huge help! You can message Lord Black on the Outlands discord and tell him I sent you ;)
The devs really need to make a proper new player experience cause the current one is...a hell of an event for sure lol Edit: also, damn you've been doing this video for a while now cause your Prev soc building is the old one lol
@@PixelRookieOfficial That was the video that made me subscribe to you. My content is all OSI pvp based, I was going to try Outlands but a buddy talked me out of it. Might have to give it a try at some point.
I tried to play this once but it was too much to have like 10 people try to welcome me at once, when I dont even know whats going on, so I hit alt+F4 If people gave you some space to just check the game out it'd be a lot easier to be a new player. Its not very fun to be put on the spot by an entire community of people as the new guy, when you aren't even sure you want to play yet.
Lol that’s actually pretty hilarious. I feel like the biggest issue with the game is getting started and figuring out how the mechanics work. I think they made some changes to make it easier but I like how gung ho the community is to try and get you acquainted

dude, rad video!
Awesome video… brings me back playing this game… I loved it so much, and you are awesome at playing and the awesome commentary …. 👍👍👍👍
I got to like level 30+, had lot of stuff, got ganked, lost my stuffs, cried and never touched the game again hahaha, good times.
Gotta admit, these UO videos are really selling it to me. Looks a lot of fun, and arguably better than most MMO's these days.
The grind is pretty intense but I am a bit of a sucker for the grind. If you join a guild, it makes it all exponentially easier too since you do more as a group. Honestly, if I didn’t have to edit videos for a YT channel, I’d play this game a ton hahaha. I highly recommend it
Outlands is great played a ton B4 and through COVID. Got to busy since 2022 to hop in but it's well worth it
Outlands is fantastic.
INDEED IT IS
Eh they don't sell it for me though it does look fun.
I’ll never forget when Lisa simpson, a filthy red, took my life and my savings many a moons ago. I love that the game is still around all these years later.
I love watching UO videos, because at this time in my life I had friends, I had a life, I was happy, I didn't care about anything, just venturing into this world with my friends... I miss it....=/
Ah the good ol days. If my brother and I were able to play this back in the day, it would have been glorious. Now, life has other priorities a lot of the time.
i feel u buddy i feel u :(
indeed - the nostalgia hits very hard with UO.
Same…was my first MMO and i lived this game at the time. No game has compared since. My main was a tamer/fencer with my trained pair of deakes😂
I played UO when I was 12. Year 2000. I was grandmaster miner and like 80% on blacksmith hahaha. SO many drama and memories from the mining pit. Oh boy, too many. When you get to grandmaster blacksmith, every item you craft gets your name on the item's name. Like, "Plate armor crafted by EternalLife". I was so motivated to get this dream come true, and played everyday for years but couldnt get to grandmaster :( But the thrill of running away from notorious murderers while getting helped by all the blue players is not like any other games. Best game experience Ive ever had.
I was 15, playing late 90's, proudest moment was using a tinker trapped chest on the ground in the mine to trick a miner-killer blue player into blowing himself up, looting him, running into my house, and locking the door, lol.
@@junkequation my proudest moment was discovering the black bag trick used against me and using it against other newbs. UO at it finest
I played back then in a server where mines outside Minoc were a known PK hunting ground. You'd be scared shitless whenever you are in the caves. Any moment a team of PK players would just come in, seal the mine's exit with the wall spell, kill everyone in the mines and steal your loot. It was the best of times.
I played at 16 in 2001 for 15 minutes and never went back. Ended up playing war craft from 2004 to 2013. Then started playing the souls series and realized how crap every mmo really is.
@@DSToNe19and83 Is that where you open the trade menu and some how you drop every item in the trade menu and over encumbers you? If so, I hate you lol. I lost 10 mil like that.
In the 6th grade I used to play Runescape in computer class and my class buddy would always try to get me to play Ultima Online instead lol. I was waaaaaaayyyy too dedicated to mining coal though. Riveting gameplay!
In my conputerclass we all thought we were slick but realized soon. Our teacher could see what we do from his pc and also he was huge geek. Like he was huge wow fan, befriended himself with the substitue teacher instantly who occassionly went to raids with him( so been told )
The class teacher also played with us the games weve been playing.
The WoE thing became known in our class, we tried to add him in those games but they rejected for the same reason as befriended yourself with the teacher because you could get better grades
The editing, sound and delivery 10/10. Ultima Online for those of us that have been addicted to it through the years is very hard to explain to someone from the outside. Great video!
Thanks so much for the high praises. Looking forward to connecting with you soon :)
AMAZING editing, the Chris bard fail shot was hilarious. I played Outlands upon launch and then during covid. I had the first medium sized ship on the server - back then it was like me and two other guys who even sailed, there were no ship pks. I remember almost pking richest player on the server Stormy Daniels on second day of the server. I remember how quickly people got together for the first houses it was within a day or two, people were PRE PLANNING how to do this before server opened on discord and doing podcasts about the launch strategy. The creator and everyone working on Outlands did a fantastic job with it.
If anyone is curious AND if you have free time because it WILL take up your time, this is a really fun thing to get into for awhile.
now excuse me i got some sneaking to do w my trapped chests.
UO Outlands is exactly what UO Classic SHOULD have become. It's stunning and amazing. The way they repurpose skills to become useful that were originally more pointless is phenominal. Additionally, the way you 'lvl' is probably the best way I've seen 'lvls' done. I don't have time to actively play this anymore, but gods do I miss it.
I love the depth this game offers, in terms of skill sets, crafting, fighting, and more. I've been waiting for DECADES for a newaged UO and this really filled that desire when I found it 3 years ago.
I agree. I think the progression is really interesting while still keeping the core of UO in place. It sucks when you get killed by a pk and they loot your body, but most equipment is a minor inconvenience to lose at worse. It’s a good setup and a ton of fun
Dude, thank you for taking all our advice and making this video!!!
I was actually wanting to make a video follow-up of Outlands as soon as I tried it out after retail UO and was in love with the game. It just took me a veeeery long time to actually put everything together haha
@@PixelRookieOfficial So which did you like better? Dude, you noobing around brings back so many memories. I wish I could erase those memories and experience it like you did. Amazing to see!
I liked Outlands 1000 times better. The world feels very alive and busy all the time and joining a guild made it even more fun as I was not stuck doing things alone. It helped kick start me to really snowball and the game is a lot more enjoyable once you have the key progressions upgraded some.
I have been playing for about 5 years, have a house, a few solid characters with some decent levels in multiple Aspects and I just now found out you could take that boat at the Shelter Docks to Prevalia lol. Literally every system is insanely in depth and you will always learn new things every time you play because there is just so much.
That’s funny! Let me know if you have any air cores you could hook me up with since this expansion has made my air dexxer quite viable haha
Amazing vid. Surprised you don't have 1mill subs. Got me downloading UO Outlands right now!
Thanks so much for the kind words
Even though I been playing Outlands for a couple of years now I went through the whole video.
Perfectly done and really entertain.
Also full of nostalgic and with so on point things like the DM Boss fight the Terran music or the Berserk OST with the guild part!! so touching
You sir deserve massive success as youtuber!
agree , good one :)
Thanks so much! I love tossing in some classic OSTs to tickle the nostalgia a bit. It feels especially fitting when it’s the topic of Ultima Online since even without playing it, it was a big memory of my childhood of WHAT IF haha
it was a pleasure running into you during your travels! your last UO video got me playing outlands and to see you there was an absolute blast! Even though I did call you Pixel Retro at the time (haha). Luckily enough, I was rewatching your Kenshi series during the time this video was released so I got to watch it only a day after it came out! Glad you joined the knights of Sir! I was in a guild allied with them (Pathfinders). Hopefully we can cross paths again one day!
Was it you that I ran into in Inferno level 1? If you are who I think you are, you were casually lockpicking the chests where I was at and I was super happy that you recognized me. One of the only people who did that too! I was bummed that I forgot to record when I was playing at the time but if that was you, I definitely remember that interaction haha
@@PixelRookieOfficial @PixelRookieOfficial yep that was me :D glad you remembered our encounter! not gonna lie i was hoping to see my "mistake" on this video but it was good to see you playing without trying to make this movie. shows that you were having fun in the game to me at least!
@@PocketFullofGames I was "gathering footage and progression" without recording for like 4 months straight lol.... whoops! Honestly, if I didn't have a youtube channel, I'd be really invested into Outlands and play it regularly as my go-to game. I had to take a break so my channel doesn't die from inactivity :P
I am happy that you found this video and honestly, I am bummed out that I didn't capture that moment because it was equally as exciting for me to have someone randomly recognize me while we were doing simple dungeon crawls haha. Cheers and best of luck out there!
it's been so cool seein u out in the world! good job making all that progress
Thanks so much
I absolutely adore your narration, and the fact that I know most of the music tracks you pull from is just some heavy nostalgia for someone who's had great memories of their source material ( like classic UO and Neverwinter Nights )
Subbed.
I spent a lot of time playing UO back in the late 90s. This video hit me right in the nostalgia nerve
Epic video as always Mr Hotdog! Glad to see you on Outlands. Its amazing server with an amazing community. Hope to bump into you in the world some day!
Thanks so much! It’s a great game with a great community, even if I still get mad at darn red PKers haha
I’m a month in and I’m having a great time in outlands. It’s fun to rediscover UO with some old school/new school!
I was enjoying the video and realized partway through that we're in the same guild. Great video, and welcome. Huzzah.
Hahaha it’s always good to see another knight of Sir here. Huzzah!
Straight up. UO Outlands is the best Ultima Online experience. Appreciate the content, brother. 👊
Thanks for the kind words and I am glad to share this video with you all. I love your PFP by the way lol
Hey Hulk Hogan, are you racist, to a point?
Hulk Hogan hates minorities.
I’m so unbelievably happy you decided to make a second video covering uo outlands as I believe it is the definitive way to play and a big TH-camr covering it is gonna bring so many more players in
I hope the video gets more traction and draws in a bigger audience. The game definitely deserves it!
This video was epic. Please make more.
Thanks so much! With Wildlands just a few weeks away, it’s hard to not play more
That is SO COOL! I've always heard of UO back in the mid 2000's, but was busy playing other MMORPGS at the time, like Tibia and RuneScape, and in the end never got to try it.
I was afraid that too much time had passed and UO was no longer on it's golden days, such is the fate of most MMOs, but this video was like a shining ray of light. Specially the knight ceremony, with many players lining up to actually roleplay the thing... It's beyond moving.
I wonder it's not too late to blissfully invest thousands of precious hours like an addicted bum on this game - and have a great time...
Dude, recently a huge update was released to Outlands and the guild of Sir is big into roleplaying, which is a lot of fun. Not only that, they are super helpful to get you started with an aspect and codex to get you kickstarted with your character. Find Lord Black in the Outlands discord and tell him I sent you if you decide to play, they will help you out.
I had to stop playing due to it being TOO much fun and I wasn’t working on my TH-cam channel at all lol. It’s definitely not too late to play!
Ive Played on Oblivion shard, from 2001 to 2004, still my favorite mmo so far......Thanks for the memories Pixel
nice you randomly stumbled across my alliance doing a boss rofl
great content!
They were very cool with a random idiot trying to help them with the mini lol. They even gave me a succulent meal after rezing me for the trouble lol
Just watching this, with all the complicated stuff you have to figure out to do with razor and settings, seems like this would be so hard to get into for a new player. I have played UO off and on since release and slowly learned third party programs, macros, etc. It's fun, like this server and Project 1999 for Everquest are the best MMO experiences available imo, but it's sort of a mess playing 3 accounts at once using a third party program and almost needing to know how to code to set up complicated behaviors in macros. I'm impressed with anyone who started with Outlands and got the hang of it without prior UO experience.
That's why most scripts you will need are right in the outlands scripts website you copy pasta and do your thing. They have an active community in discord with people called companions that are dedicated to helping new players get going
Great video! Thank for playing outlands you made a lot of progress in seemingly a short period of time.
Holy Nostalgia batman. I can't remember exactly; but in old school UO the criminal system was a touch more unforgiving. It worked as it does here, except the more shit you did, the longer you stayed gray. After a few times it was basically permanent. Good news, is that there were a lot more blues than grays and they would vehemently go after people for screwing people over. It was such a good damn time. I miss UO's early days so much.
Edit: Alright, I'm sold. Gonna hop on - fuck me this is bad. I know how long it took me to grind shit out when I was younger, I can't wait for the hell that awaits me, lol.
So how is it going? :)
@trymusic4life PRETTY GOOD HOW ANOUT YOURSELF?
I wanted to play this so badly during my high-school years, but never got around to it. Then Everquest was released and it ate my life for 5 years.
Also, there's something about the view angle that never sat right with me in this game. For example, you see trees and some other things from a side view, while the rest of the game is almost top-down.
Probably has to do with the game only having a X and Y axis with a multi-layered map.. Only other game I know with a similar structure is Tibia..
Really enjoyed the video. It does a great job of covering a new player's experience from zero to hero.
Cheers! Love that you're playing Outlands!
Gonna have to give it a try.
I’ve been wanting to play osrs but this sounds like a nice alternative
Almost been 2 years on outlands now. This server is getting better and better every week/month.. i seriously can't get enough. There's so many playstyles that are viable too.. like one my personal favorite build is a harvest aspect thief that focuses on lockpicking dungeon chests and stealing from mobs(and the occasional player) to get rich.
Oh that’s a fun build idea. I could enjoy just lumberjacking if harvest wasn’t so expensive. I love the idea of the chroma cores though. Big step in the right direction IMO
@@PixelRookieOfficial I was lucky enough to be building fortune aspect before they added harvest and could switch, so i got harvest 6 for free... works well enough as it is. Not rich enough to echo my build and also make a gatherer on the same toon yet though
@Drawfill I spent a ton of skill scrolls to unlock an echo and it hasn’t done me much good since I went for a pure air dexxer haha. I’ll give it another go when wildlands comes out since the focus skill will help with it a lot
yeah... echoes are only worth it if you got a 720 template that works for the aspect you wanna use it for. Harvest works for both gathering and lockpicking... it just makes sense on this character of mine. I wouldnt advise echoing on a new toon though tbh.
Hope to see ya all ingame for fun and fights :) great video Sir !
Really appreciate the kind words. I’m glad you were able to enjoy the video. Maybe we will cross paths one day in Avadon haha
I love Outlands so much and the new expansion just released this weekend! When I was new to Outlands I was jacking some lumber northwest of Prevalia and it was a territory belonging to Reds. I was stopped by a Red and they roleplayed that I pay the fee to have access to their lands or I run the risk of dying. I paid a meager sum of gold as I was very poor and they granted me access to the territory and said that they would pass the word along to allow me to pass through.
The expansion is great so far! Minus the server instability, it’s really great. I’m finally able to enjoy playing as an air dexxer haha.
The other day I entered the mausoleum and this red approaches me at the entrance and tells me he’s robbing me and my buddy and that we have to pay him OR ELSE. We both turned on him right after and he took off running but it was really funny. Love the light RP that goes on in the game
@@PixelRookieOfficial make sure you enter the house lottery from all 3 accs. I just won one pass and placed first house in new lands, right near the great farming/taming spot
@@overbe Still patiently waiting to win a pass on one of my 3 accounts lol. I keep checking every evening
@@PixelRookieOfficial Make sure you find and bookmark potential spots in advance. During the last expansion I basically roleplayed the realter lol. Invested all my gold into buying passes from the others and ended up almost placing the biggest possible house on the shard. You can't buy passes directly, but you can pay the person to use his pass and place a 8x8 house where you want and after the lottery transfer it to you for the remainder of the fee. That's how some ended up with huge plots. This was probably the most enjoyable part of playing on Outlands, at least for me. Needed to deal with lots of people in order to make it happpen.
For a beginner it's better to look for some good farming and close to water spots, which are surrounded by some obstacles, so placing 8x8 wouldn't let others to place another 8x8 between your house and those obstacles. There should be 4 tiles between another potential nearby house, so leaving 3 tiles denies that. Make sure you test Windmill. That sucker has weird footprint and some guilds got screwed up last time, because some placed those in their big plots. You can test everything on test server and/or by placing pouches on the ground to mark house borders and then using surveying tool to place wanted house. Let me know if you have questions. Cheers
Outlands is absolutely amazing, thanks for this awesome review
I have to agree! I love this game and my only regret with it is that I am not able to spend more time playing it haha
UO was one of the first "big" MMOs and it also created many staples of modern mmo/survival/crafting games. I sunk too many hours into this game when I was younger.
Wonderful video, I really wish more people would try Outlands, it's the perfect recipe of an absolute gem of old school MMO with 2024 QOL and mechanics. I will also say for anyone interested, you have so many things you can do in this game, this video only scratched the surface :)
So many great memories from my teens playing UO. Best game experience I've ever had. Wish I could have time to play it again. Had an amazing time watching your video, thank you and congratulations
Thanks so much. I was spending a bit too much time enjoying this game so I had to cut back haha. It really is a great experience
man i remember watching my dad play UO every day when i was learning how to read in 2003, good times
Welcome to Outlands!
Thank you my dear tree friend 🎄🌲🌴🌳🎋🏝️
Very well done video! I would advice to new players to skip creating a Bard, just create a Tammer with Water aspect, its descently cheap, and will get you more gold faster than a Bard. Then when you are stronger, you can upgrade it to Command Aspect, this very powerfull.
I actually did this and my dps and clear speed was probably 5 times better lol. I just stopped using fencing and swapped to different weapons to level different codices because the pets were so much stronger. It’s a huge difference
i have been trying to get into uo outlands but have a ton to learn, but until then am happy with my trial/error approach.
anyways if anyone wants to party up my character name is Tickle Boy, would love to play alongside some ppl
There is a lot to digest but if you find a guild to join via their Discord server, that is an AMAZING way to get people to play with and helping through that learning curve
Fantastic story, lol... really awesome done!! Outlands FTW!!
Thanks for the kind words - I am very happy you enjoyed it!
Hell yeah, hearing LISA's soundtrack in there.
Great video by the way, I can see why this game is being talked a lot even today.
Man, your editing and humor is awesome!
I really appreciate the kind words! I put a lot of time and effort into this project and I’m really happy it shows!
Such a solid video. Can't help but to watch it again and again.
My man 😎
Every view is much appreciated
When UO came out... I thought we would be SOOOOO much farther ahead here in 2024 than we are!
shit, UO has pretty much everything current MMO's have, IF NOT MORE!!! It's bonkers!
I feel like a lot of MMOs want to do "games as a service" more than just make a good game to get people to keep throwing money at them. I am not too keen on most modern MMOs anymore. Outlands being quite the exception of course :)
one of my favorite memories was when a bunch of us took over a graveyard and turned a crypt into a bar and hanged out. had to kill undead from time to time but was fun.
Outlands wooo!! Great video!
God i miss UO. Guild wars was so much fun and adrenaline pumping. Hand constantly hovering over the recall spell in case a gank squad rolls up. I remember i had tamer that was almost GM. I would line dragons up by the bank and sell them.
You should give Outlands a look if you want to scratch that itch. I literally had to give away all of my characters stuff because I was addicted to the game (look at that 2-3 month gap between uploads starting around the time I released this video and started playing Outlands again lol)
Played early UO when I was like 16 and for years in the late 90s-early 00s, had a tank mage, joined the Sosarian Socialist Party on the Catskills RP server. Remember the early days Server Wars when they went down for maintenance and progress wasnt saved so everybody went HAM PKing each other lmao.
I went the Runescape route. I've always wanted to get into UO though. I played on shards back in the day, but never found one that really stuck. Tried retail not that long ago but just didn't have the time to grind. Maybe one day...
The only game I currently play is outlands. This was a great video.. Well done sir!
Thanks so much for the kind words! If I didn't have to spend so much time editing videos for the channel, I would definitely be playing way more Outlands still haha
I prefer retail over outlands for a few reason.
I hate the classic client and the enhanced client can go up to 200 fps. Additionally keybinding abilities is extremely simple. I also really enjoy the new stuff they've added. I originally hated how magical items work but once I figured out the system, it's much fun for builds. You can have well over the cap with skill jewelry. Additionally the scrolls of power that allow you to level a skill past 100 are earned through doing champion spawns in T2A (a PVP zone) and are not blessed and cannot be insured. I also like how weapons have abilities like whirlwind, double strike, etc. There is no issue with people having the same name (unlike Outlands). All content is able to be done solo (Mage Tamers and Sampires are especially good at this). There are enough servers that you can find one that suits your needs and outside of maybe Atlantic or Siege it should be easy to find land for a house (though maybe not a castle).
However I have played UO:Outlands and UOR and UOSA. I think if you're going to play a F2P versions, Outlands is definitely the best one.
I'm never a fan of advertisements interjected randomly into videos (although I understand you need to make money somehow), you found a way to comedically and naturally advertise World of Tanks. Good job man, this may be crazy but just because of that you have earned a subscriber
Haha thanks man. I will be 100% open in saying I am a SELLOUT any chance I can get with sponsorship opportunities, but I like to try and have fun with them so it can *maybe* be an entertaining bit. Cheers!
Thank you for making this. I have been meaning to get back and outlands seemed so overwhelming. But this video gave me hope and I'll play again. I'm an archer bard so I'll give your progression a try.
I'm at a point where my 11 yr old wants to play with me. I'm beyond elated, and will show him this video to get his feet wet lol😊
There’s no better time to come back than now. The big wildlands expansion is great. Honestly, my only complaint is that on peak hours it’s almost too crowded everywhere. A good problem to have for sure
@@PixelRookieOfficial I'm already on! Woohoo!
I tried to play this when I was like 12 which is 25 years ago and had no clue what I was doing
Welcome to me playing this game in the present lol
You ended up joining a really good guild.. Did you happen to run into the Orc role-playing guilds? Knights of Sir does a lot of interactions with them and so does the Yew Militia.. There are roleplayers everywhere always in character and you basically ended up joining one of the major RP guilds with the Knights of Sir, it's why they made you change your name..
I never engaged in the URK Roleplay battles but I really enjoy people being in character in the castle. It’s a lot of fun
Blue = Care Bear. Farming the farmers is more fun, and more lucrative while being faster.
Read about the "upcoming" UO in a gaming magazine, and started playing a few months after launch up until March 2003, when I left for Shadowbane.
The Presidents; Rift.
Until they decide to go gray and gank you hahaha
dude, you're awesome. Subbed! I love Outlands.
Ultima Online taught me not to care so much about belongings lol
But you still need to go with a full templated character from pretty much day 1 to be able to do anything at all. To a new player this is a killer.
Man, how i want a new aged UO alike mmorpg
I am not a huge fan of having to farm skills up to 80 in shelter and then leave to find a battle trainer and let it run pretty much all night to get a viable build. This is greatly alleviated with the help of a guild but most new players do not know this... like me when I started hahaha
Hmm as someone who's been struggling to get deeply invested into a game since Diabo 2 this looks like it could check off all the boxes of satisfaction.
D2 Resurrected opened a powerful gate of nostalgia for me and I stopped working on YT for like 2 months straight because of it hahaha.
I would say that D2 and Outlands are quite different in terms of the core gameplay loop, but Outlands is really fun in its own way.
Just know that you aren’t going to be finding lots of cool pieces of loot and gear with affixes to them, which is a huge aspect of what makes D2 so special, and the combat isn’t a “run around and melt everything on your screen” kind of gameplay.
It’s definitely a little grindy, but I honestly enjoy that. Hope you’re able to check it out and enjoy it!
You should make a video about Tibia, still going making a lot of money
I've heard Tibia mentioned a couple of times on here. I never heard about this game prior but I will definitely look into it more :)
You're better off doing a modded singleplayer server, the game can be heavily modded, you can even create your own maps. I haven't looked back since i started doing UO R&R. I added in player killer NPC's from adventures to ruins and riches since i prefer that over adventures.
I wish i hadnt stopped playing online games with other players for so long. I get way too much anxiety when interacting with others, even online. I wanna play outlands 😅
Honestly, there are so many great guilds where people are very welcoming and friendly. I feel like even with anxiety, it would be an easier transition and I also think it would get a lot easier after taking the plunge. I’m in the Sir discord and they are great people. You’re welcome to join us over there :)
I have been convinced to try Ultima Online because of this. Well done.
Make sure you play Outlands instead of retail UO from EA lol. If you are new to the game, DEFINITELY JOIN THE OUTLANDS DISCORD - they have tons of helpful people always online that can answer any one off questions you have. You can find Lord Black there and message him if you want to join the guild of Sir. They are very beginner friendly and a great group of people. They can help you with getting your first codex and aspect mastery unlocked. For an established guild, that is nothing to them but for a brand new player, it is a lot of time and money saved so you can begin big boy progression right away. Cheers!
@@PixelRookieOfficial I am on Outlands and in the discord! I am not looking for a guild right of the back (I got back social anxiety). Looking forward to your future videos, this one was a lot of fun!
Understandable. Unfortunately I gave away almost all of my loot as I was getting TOO addicted to the game and wasn’t working on TH-cam lol. If I still had some stuff I’d hook you up 😅
Man I know these videosnare kind of cautionary tales about these old games but...
This game sounds more fun than most MMOs out there.
Honestly, this is less of a cautionary tale and more of a story how I learned how to love this game the slow and hard way haha. I HIGHLY recommend it if you have the time and don't mind more of a hardcore experience that is a bit more punishing but very rewarding
Ty for inspiring me again, does it have the original UO soundtrack btw? That would be a huge selling point for me
Ps, you don’t level up by doing “the thing” anymore? But by buying it ??
I actually play without music as I need to record footage and add my own BG music in post. You still need to level up any skill by doing the skill up to GM (100 points). Many of the skills can go up to 120, which requires you to buy 20 skill scrolls of that particular skill to increase the cap. You still need to use the skill to actually increase it regardless. Hope that helps!
@@PixelRookieOfficial don’t you miss the OST tho 🥹 ty that actually helped a lot I’m seriously considering getting back into this game lol
Haha all of the classic Sims OST tracks were so fitting haha
I love that moment when he invited you in his house without you knowing and locked the door. HAHAHAHAA
Some lessons are learned the hard way 😂
@@PixelRookieOfficial sometimes it's the last lesson yet there is no room for improvements 💀🤣
Outlands is so fun once you get established
Having a guild definitely helps kickstart that and it is a lot more fun traveling with a group of guildmates :)
ill give it a shhot
I hope you enjoy it! Find a beginner friendly guild like Sir where you can get help after going through Shelter Island
Very nice video and funny....had a good laugh a few times !!! Keep it going!
UO Outlands FTW !
Thanks so much! I will be working on a Wildlands expansion video sometime soon too :O
Played UO in Beta and for 6 years after. One of the vest games of all time.
Love these vids, not long been playing uoo myself.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Maybe we'll cross paths in the Wildlands some day :)
Kek gained my sub at 5:06
I always wanted to play ultimata online but always felt overwhelmed by everything. I think I’m going to give this version a try
Oh man that makes me happy! Definitely join the discord and ask questions as there is a new player channel where lots of veterans help out. Also look into a guild as they will help you too! Best of luck :)
Lost of sound and visual effects and are shared with Age of Empires games, I wonder who actually came up with this first. Also, did OSRS take its ideas from this or vice versa? Lotta similarities.
I played on Atlantic back at launch, I'm installing the client as I type this :) thanks for the info on how to get involved;)
I’m so glad! If you can get past the steep learning curve at the beginning, you’re in for a real treat! Also, join the guild ASAP! They can help you get your first codex and aspect, which is a huge help for someone that is just getting started. Sir is a great beginner friendly guild. Good luck out there :)
This was a nice video, wish more people would know about this game.
So genuine, this is the UO experience.
I'm glad you enjoyed my highs and lows throughout Outlands
If you can just afk your skills to 100 why not just start everyone at 100
Haven't played Outlands for a while, but my experience was
1. Go to dungeon
2. Fight mobs for 2 minutes
3. Get swarmed by a gank squad of PKs (very sweaty)
4. Repeat forever
I don't think I'm masochistic enough to play this server 😂
I think those kinds of PK groups come and go, but since getting back into the game the past few weeks, I have only run into 2-3 groups total and only died once. There are a lot of ways to avoid getting PKed but I feel like you need to get past the basics to know how to do this effectively. Sadly, if you are a new player and getting targeted by PKs (they are the easiest targets), it can definitely lead to a frustrating and unfun experience.
I love seeing these new players UO:O stories :D
Hopefully more to come with wildlands coming out soon 😎
How is the first MMORPG still the best... lmao
Not the first MMORPG but it was the first to coin the term MMORPG.. However I think what sets UO apart is that it was clearly developed to be a social roleplaying experience even though you had features that many would consider hardcore, features that you see in games like Mortal Online, Albion and Darkfall, but I think where those games fall flat is that there is little to no focus on providing a social RP experience and it lacks depth in those features where UO is loaded with it. You don't build a sandbox without any sand which is what modern sandbox games do.. UO was all about socializing and because it centered around that it ended up having more depth than any other MMORPG to date.. The skill system provides more depth as well in a MMORPG, I don't care what people say, it's better for the games balance and longevity when there is no character levels and it's easier to balance a game with a skil system, you barely even need gear in Outlands, your character skills outweigh your items..
UO Outlands is the best version of Ultima Online. EA should’ve hired these guys to team to make the original even more of a masterpiece. If you haven’t played Outlands yet, you should.
Outlands really is a great free shard. I was happy to stumble upon it
Ouch, prices were crazy when you recorded this!!!
21:37 funny enough that was my same exact reaction to hearing "400,000" after seeing you work so hard for just checks kf 55k
Money comes and goes quickly in that game haha
@@PixelRookieOfficial you got me to give it a try, it feels like all the best parts of old UO
@surr3ald3sign that’s awesome! If you haven’t already, I definitely recommend joining a guild. Sir is a great one and very beginner friendly. They can help you with getting your first codex and aspect, which is a huge help! You can message Lord Black on the Outlands discord and tell him I sent you ;)
The devs really need to make a proper new player experience cause the current one is...a hell of an event for sure lol
Edit: also, damn you've been doing this video for a while now cause your Prev soc building is the old one lol
It really captures the nostalgic experience that you’d get playing an MMO 25+ years ago 😂
Love to see it, long live outlands!!
And soon.. *The Wildlands* 😎
the only issue i ever had was the user interface is really hard to get into.
I'm glad someone is promoting Ultima Online, even though it's not OSI.
I do have a previous video where I played retail UO for the first time and it was fun, but I really like Outlands
@@PixelRookieOfficial That was the video that made me subscribe to you. My content is all OSI pvp based, I was going to try Outlands but a buddy talked me out of it. Might have to give it a try at some point.
Great video and it is nice to know what I missed when I was a kid
If only....
I would love to see some more outlands videos bro this was great
I would like to cover wildlands once it is released as well :)
I had to slow it down to catch the writing :D
"easy, brother, easey"
I tried to play this once but it was too much to have like 10 people try to welcome me at once, when I dont even know whats going on, so I hit alt+F4
If people gave you some space to just check the game out it'd be a lot easier to be a new player.
Its not very fun to be put on the spot by an entire community of people as the new guy, when you aren't even sure you want to play yet.
Lol that’s actually pretty hilarious. I feel like the biggest issue with the game is getting started and figuring out how the mechanics work. I think they made some changes to make it easier but I like how gung ho the community is to try and get you acquainted
this video is just amazing, thank you
